Key Features
- Double flanges for high moment capacity (efficient load distribution)
- High fatigue and impact resistance (fiberglass structure)
- Low weight relative to wood or concrete of similar section
Benefits
- Ideal for heavy-duty supports (e.g. large walkways, bridge girders) with zero maintenance concerns
- Constant performance in marine/corrosive atmospheres (no protective coatings needed)
Applications
- Heavily loaded spans or columns (e.g. utility bridges, high platforms)
- Roof and gantry beam in corrosive process plants
- Supporting tank racks or large electrical transformers (no grounding needed)
Technical Specifications
- Section depths often range 150–300 mm, flanges up to 100 mm wide
- Example: a 152×152×9.5 mm H-beam weighs ~8.10 kg/m
Unique Selling Points (USPs)
- Provides maximum stiffness with composite benefits (light, durable)
- Meets stringent structural standards (EN 13706 heavy series)
